When asked about the status of that search, Mone said: “We’re working on it.” With the deadline for nominations closed as of July 15, Mone said the committee has now identified and contacted the candidates who will be interviewed for the position.

“We have not interviewed anyone as of yet but plan to do so in the next few weeks,” he said.

As for which candidates will be meeting with the committee, Mone, who practices at Esdaile, Barrett & Esdaile, said: “You know I’m not going to tell you that.”
